Temperature, dew point, barometric pressure, and wind
over the last seven days

Plot updated 1969-12-31 14:00:00

The top facet shows temperaure (the blue region) and dew point (the black
circles). The closer the temperature is to the dew point, the higher the
relative humidity. The middle facet shows barometric pressure. Higher numbers
indicate greater pressure, and generally mean better weather. The bottom shows
wind vectors where the length of the arrow is the wind speed and the direction
the wind is blowing is indicated by the direction of the arrow. For example,
an arrow pointing straight down is a “north wind” because it originates from
the north.

Data collection is performed using Perl and Python scripts that
download, parse and stores the data locally. gnuplot and R (with ggplot2) generates the
majority of the plots on these pages.

As of October 2008, we have a continuously reporting weather station at our
house on Goldstream Creek. It's an interesting place because it is at the
bottom of the valley, and so it's temperatures can be much colder than in the
rest of Fairbanks. Information on the station, the data collection methods,
data and plots are available at the Goldstream Creek Station
pages.
